What are Windows 8 Bluetooth capabilities ?
location: 8forums.com - date: June 16, 2011
Probably no one really knows but its worth a shot to ask? What we know is that it is Bluetooh v3.0. My question is that, i will have a bluetooth mouse, keyboard, speaker phone, phone headset, etc, connected to my PC. How will Windows 8 deal with usb enumeration, or how will it deal with dual usb enumeration. My main concern is using bluetooth devices with softphone applications(skype,lync etc). How will Windows 8 respond to having two or more audio devices connected, i.e. a Speaker phone and a Headset. How will it choose between the two devices? Today, as far as audio devices go, I will need a usb bluetooth dongle for each device. So i would have 1 dongle for my headset, 1 for my speaker phone, 1 for a wireless mic, and e

What Windows 8 Feature Team is responsible for the amazingly improved search functionality and where is their team blog?
location: microsoft.com - date: January 8, 2013
I was reading on Steve Sinofsky's Introducing the Team blog post that Win8 development tasks were divided between feature teams.  Seems to me like Search, View, and Command would be the right team.  If so, do they have a public team blog?   Windows 8's new Search functionality is the next best thing since peanut butter... in my opinion.  With Windows 8 Search, I no longer need my legacy Win7 start button OR shutdown button.  Actually, I don't even need tiles on the start screen!  Why?   It's a very refreshing to know I can find everything... apps, files, settings, everything... at my fingertips by simply just typing at the Windows 8 Start screen.  It's like magic... really!   A

What Windows 8 Microsoft services are not essential?
location: 8forums.com - date: January 21, 2013
I just recently set up a Windows 8 laptop for a relative and at first, everything appeared to be blazing fast from start up, program launches, to shut down. But several weeks later I've come back to check on that laptop and it feels like it's running slower than it was. Of course, the most logical thing is to consider what software has been installed. I did do a review of it and didn't find anything that I'd judge as contributing to the performance hit. However, I did notice a rather HUGE number of Microsoft services in the list (italicized is running): Application Experience [stopped] Application Layer Gateway Service [stopped] Windows All-User Install Agent [stopped] Application Host Helper Service Application Identity [s

What Windows 8 Version do I have
location: 8forums.com - date: February 21, 2013
Control Panel/System reports I have Winows 8 installed. It says nothing about the version. BelArc Advisor reports it as the Home Premium edition. That is what I bought at Best Buy after a fouled up attempt to get Windows 7 installed on my new HP 1415. But that is another story with a happy ending. MS's site doesn't mention the Home Premium edition -- only the plain vanilla Windows 8 and the Pro edition. What happened to it. Do I have a problem? Home Premium is running fine in combination with Classic Shell and I am a happy camper so I don't think so. I see no need to upgrade to the Pro edition> Thank you.

Windows 8 Bluetooth blues
location: microsoft.com - date: March 27, 2013
My understanding is that a Windows 8 PC should come with Bluetooth capability, but my new PC doesn't seem to have any ability to detect Bluetooth devices. The devices are discoverable and ready to pair, but the PC comes up with nothing. I can't find any way to enable/disable bluetooth or to test functionality.

Listen up, Google: Here’s what Windows 8 can teach you about tablets
location: 8forums.com - date: March 2, 2012
Windows 8 is certain to make a huge splash with consumers — not just because it’s the next version of Windows, but because Microsoft has finally managed to crack the code for putting Windows on tablets. But I think Windows 8 also teaches us something important about the fledgling tablet category: effective tablets need to be laser-focused on offering an experience that’s more than just a blown up mobile OS. (And making sure developers are eager to build for your platform doesn’t hurt either.) Source Here
